Aquasafe Group Order
 
When I purchased my system, I didn't order any filter cartridges, and it is now time to replace them. However, it seems odd to buy a 6-year supply... Still, it is likely that we can save some shipping costs if we combine our purchasing power. Ideally I'd like to split an order with someone.

Any interest?

I am interested. How much does the half order cost?

Matt 10-02-2006 05:22 PM

I'm thinking that one case of filters, and one case of DI resin should do for a while.

That's $55+$40 + Shipping (~$20?) / 2 = ~$58 each. Shipping and/or pricing might get better if more folks get involved.

Regards,
Matt

Where abouts in the city are you Matt?

Matt 10-13-2006 04:05 AM

Everyone should have PMs now. For those who wonder if it is worth group-ordering... yes&no. For me, it is more work than the money saved by far, but I get to meet some of you (again in some cases), and that's worthwhile. For the other end, we collectively saved about $145 in shipping and got 10% discounts totalling about $40 (just about enough to make the US$ catalogue prices Canadian par). For understanding how I calculated shipping/totals, I took the shipping charge published in their catalogue, divided it into what they actually charged for shipping, then pro-rated that back onto each item. So, we each paid .30 of the published shipping rate on our item(s).

Matt
